1/7 We’ve been brewing a plan to interrogate systems of oppression and put the responsibility back on to cultural and creative organisations to change - not the individuals.

2/7 Enabling Environments is our response to the surge of Anti-Racist statements & black boxes on socials. Systemic racism is not a new concept, but the amplification of #BlackLivesMatter

3/7 THE BIG SQUEEZE: We’re inviting applications for three Strategic Partners to work with us over two years, to turn their Anti-Racist Statements into Action Plans with accountability built in. http://sourlemons.co.uk/enabling-environments">https://sourlemons.co.uk/enabling-...
4/7 We’re also opening up our ZESTING process - half day workshops to & #39;shed the top layer& #39;, led by the Lemons to interrogate personal and collective power in dismantling systems that oppress Black and Brown people
5/7 Our role is not to educate or to fix, we hold up mirrors that allow organisations to consider how they are Enabling Environments where everyone can thrive.

6/7 It’s an injustice that the smallest part of society – the white, formally educated & most privileged part – form the majority of creative decision makers, who get to tell stories on behalf of us all. What a narrow lens. We are all missing out.
7/7 It’s time to move away from diversity schemes designed to ‘slot people in’ and start to dismantle the system designed to keep them out.
This is not a ‘black’ problem. This is an ‘everyone’ problem. And now is the time to do something about it.
